[Highland Park] Review - A la carte bake sale
by Difranza, Francine 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Just wanted to say that I called Christine and I ordered an apple pie but I had specific requests as to the tartness of the pie, the amount of cinnamon and butter in the crust. She made the pie just as I requested and it was delicious and I would recommend her to all in the neighborhood! -----Original Message----- From: neighborhood-bounces(a)highlandparkpa.com [mailto:neighborhood-bounces@highlandparkpa.com] On Behalf Of M. Christine Benner Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 1:23 PM To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com Subject: [Highland Park] A la carte bake sale Hello, neighbors! I am getting married in September, and I need a way to raise a little extra money for that happy occasion. I asked myself, "What am I good at?" "Baking," I replied. So, I'm offering my services as a baker to the neighborhood. I have been whipping up baked goods since I was a little girl, so I can make nearly anything you might want. My specialties are yeast breads and rolls (especially whole grain varieties), cinnamon buns, granola, funny cake (a favorite chocolate-laden dessert among the Eastern PA Mennonites from whom I descend), and hearty chocolate chip cookies . . . and that's just the short list. Like I said, I'm pretty handy when it comes to baked goods, so even if you don't see it on the list I can probably make it. Support a local bride and get some home-baked goodness to boot! What's not to love? I even give you full permission to tell your friends and family that you made whatever tasty morsel I might cook up for you. Email me at m.christine.benner(a)verizon.net to talk about prices and dietary concerns. Christie Benner -- <http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood>

[Highland Park] Super Soaker paint vandals
by Andy Cheatham 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Neighbors: Overnight, before 6 AM this morning, someone squirted paint from something similar to a super soaker water toy. The first two attempts from the sidewalk didn't reach their target so they went around the gate, entered our yard and gave the car parked in front six or seven pumps before their plan clogged up and probably covered them with more than they left the car and the concrete between it and their firing position. Observations: this occurred later in the night due to the still soft latex paint, it was done with something that pumps to shoot (water/ paint), intent was involved since there wasn't an empty container left at the scene and marks of dribbling squirts from the sidewalk show that they came ready to paint but didn't get the result they thought they would, no abandonment of any equipment or containers, no readily seen drips leading to or going from the house on the sidewalk; whoever it was drove up and drove away. Police called, a very kind officer responded within 30 minutes and a report made in case I needed to submit a homeowners insurance claim. Andy

[Highland Park] regular babysitting
by Ann McCarthy 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hi neighbors, My colleague and I are looking to share a regular babysitter between our two families. We are in need of coverage on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. We would prefer someone to come to our houses and have abillity to drive but would consider dropping our kids off at a sitter's house as long as she/he lives in the east end. We would consider a house with other children as well. Her daughter is 5 months and my two children are 2 and 3.5. Thank you, Ann annmmccarthy(a)yahoo.com

[Highland Park] Wicker Desk and Chair for sale and free loving cats
by flamingoblue 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hello Neighbors, I am selling this adorable wicker desk and chair from the 1970's. It is painted in two shades of sage green with pink accents. It measures 42 1/2" wide, 22 1/3" deep, and 30" high. The desk is in fair condition with some chipped paint on the top, and the chair is in excellent condition. It could be restored with some paint. It is very sturdy, just too cute and perhaps a bit shabby chic!! I am selling this for my friend. This was originally purchased from Joseph Hornes. Asking $175 Marty Harkins 412-606-7974 PS My cats are still in need of a good home......
